In last week’s edition of “What We’re Playing,” OrganicShadow commented, “Wow. ONE PERSON playing MGS4?”

Well, actually, there were two of us — both Craig Lafferty and myself, as I ended up getting a copy that night. And if you ask me, it’s definitely a must-play game. Looking through the run down of what the devs are playing this weekend, it looks like at least three of us are now playing it.

On the topic of MGS 4, my Google Alerts picked up an interesting blog post that notes the contrasting messages presented in Fallout and MGS 4’s introductions. I’m glad someone brought it up, as my friends and I were blown away when we heard Snake begin with “War has changed.” Personally, I think both introductions make compelling arguments supporting their claim.

Finished MGS4 4 times but still going back for more YAY SNAKE he (almost) made old people cool but he IS the most hardcore badass on the planet SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE sing it with me SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE (continues for hours)

I’ve been playing the World of Warcraft 10-day free trial (with a little help from Attrebus), and – pity my computer – am now going to play Oblivion again from scratch, but this time with OOO+MMM and one of those flashy UI mods.

My Oblivion booklet is now all wrinkly from reading it in the bath, as I was swotting up on stats bonuses and still can’t decide if I want to be a Nord or a Redguard.
